I'll call the police
Reply:I'd pull up a chair, order some beer and nachos and watch the full 15 rounds!
Reply:It's usually me and the gf fighting, and no one ever stops to break us up!
Reply:If it's just arguing I would walk away but if it was a physical fight I would step in. Men shouldn't be beating on women EVER!
Reply:id find a group of boys to sort it out/ring the police-im only 5 foot so they would never listen to me!!! but i would definately not do nothing!
Reply:I'd get away from there. And then if it looked like someone was getting hurt, would use my cell phone to call 911.
Reply:Depends on whether the woman is looking for help. I never get involved in domestics.
Reply:Go Sawman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ; )
Reply:it would depend on how violent it was becoming...and if was escalating i would either call the cops or intervene if i was afraid one was going to get hurt...
Reply:If it was physical, i would probably call the police, if it was verbal, i would walk away. It's no ones business to stop unless there is physical fighting or threats made.
Reply:i tried to stop it before and the women started on me so it would realy depend on circumstances but in general i would it takes a coward of a man to beat a woman
Reply:As a Social Worker, I would recommend first priority "Never get into a middle of an on going domestic violence dispute. " Cause you self could get injured and hurt. I rather would get my cell phone out and from a distance call 911.
Reply:You can get very hurt if you get involved . That is what the police are for.
Reply:We did. And we ran towards them. He stopped his abuse (punching, shoving and kicking her)immediately and she picked up her purse and dusted it off as if she had just fallen.....and pretended that we didn't see what we saw. They went arm and arm down the block as if they were two lovebirds. But we know what we saw...and we were shocked enough to try to intervene.





So pitiful.
Reply:if she was giving as good as she got %26amp; built like some of the Chavs around here, i'd leave them to it.


get involved she'd probably turn on me!


but if it was a six-foot towering bully picking on a woman in distress, half his size, yes i'd get involved


i'd ring the Police %26amp; let them deal with it.
Reply:my dad stopped a guy hitting his gf, she smacked my dad one! i dont think he will bother in future, if it was physical i would call the old bill and not say anything if not, leave um to it.
Reply:as a door supervisor i would leave this couple alone as most times u get turned on for interferrin in there business ! walk by and inform the police
Reply:i woudl not get involed. they might both turn on you. best to mind your business unless things get physical, then i might step in .
Reply:I have been in this situation. Fortunately, I knew that there was a diner right down the street that always had cops hanging out there. I walked in and told them about it and they went straight over.





I work in a school and break up fights without thinking twice about it. But if a couple is fighting in the street, you don't know if one of them is armed and/or crazy. And who would you stop? If you hold the man back, it's equally likely that the woman will keep hitting him (or you), and vice-versa.
Reply:I dont think its a good idea to split up a couple if the are fighting as they may turn the fight around and you could become the victim.





the world has become such a place that nobody wants to get involved because of reprisals, so I would probably turn around and take the long way round to avoid any trouble as sad as that seems it is part of living in the modern world.
Reply:if it's really severe or I am scared for someone's safety I would call the police.





If there is immediate danger to one of the people i may step in.





Otherwise, I will walk by. It's sad, but you are unlikely to change their relationship, especially if they are already ok with making a scene in public.
Reply:My ex and I tried to help a girl that was getting beat by her man at the train stop. In the end she went home with him. I'd probably try again but if she's not yelling help or whatnot, then I dunno.
Reply:From experience, I can tell you most would do nothing to help.
Reply:I'd keep walking - none of my business is it!
Reply:Been in this situation and since it was a deserted quite dark alley I hesitated but then asked the woman if she was ok.





The man turned on me but his partner stopped him.





She actually thanked me, said everything was fine, but she was "grateful I'd asked, most people wouldn't have".





It did seems to quieten them down a little though.





My partner was furious with me when I told him, he said it was dangerous and I should have just walked past!!! I'm afraid I'm not that sort of person.





I just knew that if I were in the same situation I'd be thankful that someone was concerned, even if I was actually in control.
Reply:no i actually wouldn't, not my business and i wouldn't have any clue what they were fighting about, if i saw the guy hitting the girl or anything got too serious, i would definitely call 911 and break it up
Reply:♥ I'd leave it be unless it got physical...
Reply:Not get involved. I did once and ended up getting told by both parties to intercourse off. They also challenged my parentage. So, the lesson is if you are of a sensitive disposition, keep away from this sort of thing.
Reply:depends.
Reply:I'd leave them to it, but i would watch!!!
Reply:I'd call the police. I tried to intervene in that kind of a situation and got hit by both parties. This is why cell phones were invented.
